My teenage son loves playing games. I know, there probably isn’t a teenager who doesn’t like playing games! One of his fav games is Fortnite, which he plays with his online friends. Now, I know nothing about gaming, but apparently there are non-player characters called henchmen that function as stormtroopers. I’m probably making a fool […]
Groenland is the Dutch name for Greenland. It means exactly that: Green Land. In Danish it is called Grønland (Green Land) and in Greenlandic it is called Kalaallit Nunaat, which translates as ‘land of the Greenlanders’. I guess the Greenlanders are right! I haven’t visited Greenland, but I would love to! Maybe somewhere in the […]
It is quite bizarre to see the heads of big corporations kiss up when someone comes into power. It sounds like a bad cliché, but unfortunately it’s not. Kiss Up font is a handmade, brush font. It will look quite good on your book cover designs, your product packaging, signage and yes, even your protest […]
This year I have traveled to Japan 3 times. I used to be a tour guide, guiding groups around the world, but ever since my kids were born I have stayed at home. The kids have grown, so I have picked up guiding a few tours now and then. In Japan they have twisted donuts, […]
My kids like popcorn, We use organic corn kernels and pop them in a special popping pan, adding some salt or some syrup. We never buy the microwave popcorn as we suspect it has been genetically modified and/or heavily processed. We don’t really eat a lot of the stuff, as it is primarily an American […]
Back in 2014 I made a nice brush font called Downward Fall. I haven’t touched it since, but ten years later I thought it would be a good idea to release an update. Downward Fall 2024 is like the original, but it comes with extensive language support and ‘real’ lower case letters. You can use […]
To be at loggerheads means to be in conflict. I have always wondered where that expression came from, so I looked it up. There are a few explanations, but the one most people agree on is that it comes from the insult ‘loggerhead’ – meaning a thick headed person. A logger was a block of […]
From time to time I read about people driving cars in canals and off cliffs because their on board navigation tells them to make a right or left turn. I have car navigation too, but I only use it ‘lightly’ to get general directions. Last year, however, while vacationing in France, we couldn’t find the […]
Yellowcake is a type of uranium concentrate powder. It was named yellowcake, because of early extraction methods. Don’t worry, I am not building a nuclear reactor or something – I was watching a show where someone mentioned yellowcake and I immediately thought it would be a great font name! Premium Yellowcake is a font I […]
I like watching the Eurovision Song Contest. Not because I love the music, but because it usually promises an evening full of kitsch, over the top drama and political sideswiping; in other words, a welcome change from the drab programming we have here in Holland. This year was a bit of a disaster, as the […]
